Objectives: To evaluate factors related to dangerousness cessation at the end of involuntary commitment based on an analysis of expert reports. In light of the current legal requirement of dangerousness cessation as a pre-requisite for prison or internment release of individuals subjected to the safety measure, we sought elements to reflect on the practice of expert examiners in charge of making this decision. Methods: The authors revised 224 expert psychiatric dangerousness cessation reports released 2011 through 2014 and collected data for a statistical analysis. Results: The following variables were associated with positive risk cessation assessments: no inadequate behavior (according to the assistant professionals), no productive psychotic symptoms, no negative symptoms, presence of insight, presence of a support network, and no psychoactive substance abuse. The following variables were associated with negative dangerousness cessation decisions: early onset of malfunction, lack of insight, negative attitudes, active signs of major mental illness, presence of impulsiveness, poor response to treatment, presence of plans lacking feasibility, exposure to destabilizing factors, lack of personal support, and presence of stress. Conclusions: In this study we were able to identify factors associated with dangerousness in a sample of expert reports. The knowledge of factors linked to a higher risk of recidivism in illegal activities or violent behavior is crucial for decision-making regarding the release of offenders after their legally established period of involuntary commitment.

<p>A ciclagem de nutrientes é essencial para a manutenção da produtividade dos ecossistemas florestais, principalmente sobre solos de baixa fertilidade e fortemente intemperizados. Apesar da existência de trabalhos de acúmulo e deposição de serrapilheira da vegetação da Caatinga, ainda falta muito para o conhecimento da dinâmica desse bioma. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo, avaliar o acúmulo, deposição e decomposição de serrapilheira, a fim de obter informações sobre a dinâmica das espécies vegetais de uma Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural no bioma Caatinga, no Estado da Paraíba, para propiciar futuros estudos no tocante a ciclagem de nutrientes e, avaliar a interferência da precipitação pluviométrica na sazonalidade destes eventos. Para se obter a produção de serrapilheira 20 coletores de 1,0 m x 1,0 m, com fundo da tela de náilon. Coletada mensalmente, a serrapilheira foi separada nas frações folhas, galhos, material reprodutivo e miscelânea, sendo as frações secas em estufa e posteriormente pesada. Para avaliar a quantificação do estoque de serrapilheira acumulada foi utilizada moldura metálica com dimensões de 0,5 m x 0,5 m, lançada aleatoriamente, sendo coletada mensalmente, levada ao laboratório para secagem em estufa e pesado. A deposição de serrapilheira na fração folha no ano de 2011 estimou-se em 2.079,61 kg ha^-1, representando 77,23% do total estimado para o período experimental. Conclui-se que, a produção de serrapilheira obedeceu a seguinte ordem: folhas &gt; galhos + cascas &gt; material reprodutivo &gt; miscelânea. A serrapilheira acumulada no piso florestal na área de estudo pode ser decomposta em quase sua totalidade em aproximadamente dois anos.</p><p><strong><em>Accumulation, deposition and decomposition of litter in a dynamic Caatinga vegetation in a Conservation Unit</em></strong></p><p><strong>Abstract</strong><strong>: </strong>Nutrient cycling is essential for maintaining the productivity of forest ecosystems, especially on soils of low fertility and strongly weathered. Despite the studies of accumulation and deposition of litter in the Caatinga vegetation, there is still much to our understanding of the dynamics of this biome. This study aimed to evaluate the accumulation, deposition and decomposition of litter in order to obtain information about the dynamics of plant species in a Private Reserve of Natural Heritage in Caatinga biome in the state of Paraíba, to provide future studies regarding nutrient cycling, to facilitate future studies regarding nutrient cycling, and evaluate the role of rainfall seasonality in these events. To obtain the litterfall production, we used 20 collectors of 1.0m x 1.0 m, with nylon fabric background. The collection was done monthly, the litter was separated into leaves, twigs, reproductive material and miscellaneous and were dried in an oven and then weighed. To evaluate the quantification of the stock of accumulated litter, we used a metal frame with dimensions of 0.5m x 0.5m, thrown randomly being and being collected monthly, then taken to the laboratory oven to dry and to be weighed. The deposition fraction of leaf litter in the year 2011 was estimated at 2079.61 kg ha^-1, representing 77.23% of the total estimate for the experimental period. We conclude that the litterfall followed the order: leaves &gt; bark + branches &gt; reproductive material &gt; miscellany. The litter accumulated on the forest floor in the study area can be decomposed almost completely in about two years.</p>

Objetivou-se avaliar o crescimento e acúmulo de macronutrientes por cultivares de melancia no estado de Pernambuco. O trabalho foi conduzido na estação experimental Bebedouro (Petrolina-PE) pertencente à EMBRAPA Semiárido, no período de setembro a dezembro de 2009. O solo da área experimental foi classificado como argilosolo vermelho-amarelo eutrófico (EMBRAPA, 1999). O delineamento utilizado foi em blocos casualizados completos, com quatro repetições em esquema fatorial 2x5. Os tratamentos resultaram da combinação de duas cultivares de melancia (Quetzale e Shadow) e cinco épocas de coletas: 15, 25, 35, 45 e 55 dias após o transplantio.  Em cada coleta foram utilizadas três plantas por repetição. A unidade experimental para o experimento foi constituída por três fileiras de plantas de 10,5 m de comprimento, com espaçamento de 2,0 x0,50m perfazendo um total de 63,0 m2. As coletas de plantas foram realizadas na fileira central. As cultivares Quetzale e Shadow apresentaram crescimento inicial lento, intensificando a partir dos 25 dias após o transplantio. Maiores incrementos na matéria seca total da parte aérea e do fruto ocorreram no período de 45 a 55 dias após o transplantio. Na colheita, a parte aérea e o fruto da cultivar Quetzale apresentaram os maiores acúmulos de 52%. E os macronutrientes foram absorvidos pelas cultivares na seguinte ordem: K ˃N˃Ca˃P˃Mg.Growth and macronutrient absorption in the watermelon crop in the State of PernambucoAbstract: This study aimed to evaluate the growth and accumulation of macronutrients by watermelon cultivars in the state of Pernambuco. The experiment was conducted  in the experimental station of Bebedouro (Petrolina-PE) which belongs to EMBRAPA Semiarid from September to December in 2009. The soil of experimental area was classified  as red-yellow eutrophic claylish soil.The experimente was done in a complete randomized  with four replications in a factorial scheme 2 x 5. The treatments resulted from the combination os two cultivars of watermelon (Quetzale and Shadow) and five collects: 15, 25, 35, 45 and 55 days after transplanting. Three plants were used per repetition  in each collect. The experimental unit consisted of three rows of plants with 10,5 m long, spaced by 2,0 x 0,50 m making up 63,0 m2. The plants were collected from the central row. The cultivars  Quetzale and Shadow presented slow initial growth, improving from the twenty-fifth day after transplanting. The largest increases in the total dry matter of the aerial part and fruit happened between 45 and 55 days after transplanting. At harvest, the aerial part and the  fruit of the cultivar Quetzale presented the largest accumulations , in a total of 52%. And the macronutrients were absorbed by both cultivars in the following order: K ˃ N ˃ Ca˃P ˃ Mg.
